Absolutely beautiful space and such amazing food. I have celiac disease, and it's such a relief to find such divine eats that keep me safe. So much yum!! Thank you Tocoya Organica!

If you’re looking for great Pizza with a pretty relaxed atmosphere this is your place. They offer Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free and regular options. They also carry a small selection of beer. If you’re Vegan I really recommend the Vegan Sicilian cheese, I also tried the veggie, pepperoni and mac and cheese but Sicilian cheese was definitely my favorite. My hubby is not Vegan and he also loved the none vegan options. They sell by the slice which works out great for us.

Wurstkuche is one of the restaurants I’d recommend to anyone visiting LA. I’ve been going here for years now and have always had the most amazing experiences. They accommodate my gluten allergy so well here, simply making my sausage without a bun and also wrapped in foil so no cross contamination occurs. I love the kielbasa and have yet to try anything too out there, but they have some very interesting and exotic sausages such as the rattlesnake & rabbit one! Not sure if I’ll ever be adventurous enough to try that one! There tends to be a line every time I go, but there’s always enough room to sit, as they have a large front patio and plenty of seats indoors that’s free seating. I love how there are crayons and you can color on the tables! Parking is pretty terrible as this is a busy area in the Arts District, so I’d recommend ubering if possible, although I did get lucky and find parking right away this time around! Definitely check this place out as they are super accommodating, the atmosphere is great and the food is delicious!

Absolutely hands down the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had. Parking is horrendous but I will risk it again for this, the perfect pizza.

Eva Komarkova

One of the best vegan ramen in Downtown. I had white creamy ramen with very good gluten-free noodles. Also gyozas and avocado-veggie sushi with leafy salad with tasty vegan dressing - everything this was good! Pretty nice vegan menu for a reasonable price! Nice service, thank you!

Marina Ouranitsas

Absolutely loved this place. Went with a big group and got most of the appetizers and everything was amazing 🤩 Loved the pear salad, the steaks, and they had this gluten free cheesy bread like starter that was so good. Most of the menu was gluten free or adaptable which was helpful for me.

Had the most INCREDIBLE saturday morning brunch at JOEY DTLA. Was greeted with the utmost professional service when I arrived. You could feel the welcoming energy as soon as you entered the space. We sat on their GORGEOUS patio space. It was so nice, you honestly forgot that you were in DTLA for a quick second. You could have told me that I was in Tulum, and I wouldn't have batted an eye. Not to mention their delicious cocktails. We had the watermelon drink and the mezcal drink. Let me tell you, these were some of the most well-balanced drinks that I have had in LA. As I am vegan and my partner is gluten free, they had plenty of options for us, and were very accommodating to any adjustments needed! To make sure that everything went well, Isabel continued to check-in with our table to ensure that everything was going well. She was an absolute GEM!! It was like having a Guardian Angel walking me through the early afternoon, while I nursed the repercussions of a very long night. If anyone internally is reading this review, that lady needs a RAISE!!! You can tell that she cares about her team, about her guests, and you can tell that she has a HUGE HAND at making sure that everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail with our experience, as well as making sure the kitchen and serving staff was well aware of our dietary restrictions. We were incredible grateful for her presence during our dining experience. Everyone was incredible, but Isabel's influence will have us coming back time and time again! THANK YOU ISABEL!! Incredible team. Amazing environment, and delicious food and drinks! What more can you ask for??!

Emily Tantuccio

This was an amazing experience. Service is top notch. I arrived straight from the airport and they were extremely accommodating and kind about holding my luggage for me for the duration of the meal. I have dietary restrictions, and multiple staff members also went above and beyond to ensure I could order within the parameters of what I can safely eat, and they were just really lovely about it and did not make me feel like a nuisance. The sumac lemonade and the mushroom dish were the highlights for me. There are multiple vegan options and multiple gluten free options. So special and I cannot wait to return.

Brandon Griffin

William and Jessie were great. I had lots of gluten free questions and they walked us through everything. It was an enjoyable experience.

Brittani Mroz

Went this past week and had the tasting menu. I am gluten and dairy free and they accommodated flawlessly. Each course was unique, beautiful to look at, and memorable to eat. My friend had the vegetarian tasting menu and loved it, too. The timing was excellent, no rushing or hovering. Yes, the plates are small but by the end I promise you will be full. Highly recommend.

Nare Mughdusyan

The restaurant is not offering gluten free options as mentioned in the comments((( currently the only gluten free option is sashimi, for the rest they can’t guarantee cross contamination.

Madison Thorup

Our server was so sweet and helpful! I have a gluten allergy and I really appreciate when servers are educated in their menu and the allergies associated with it. She was great!

Maureen San

Celiac approved 🤞🏽 I love all their drinks, the vibe and good options. We were lucky to find parking and enjoy a wonderful atmosphere with beautiful people everywhere plus a dj too. Aguachile 🤌🏼

Andrew Devine

People are throwing 1 star reviews acting like this is a sleepy, one-TV, minor-league, suburb bar for boomers. Well, it’s not. This is THE bar to go to pre, post or during a game at the second biggest arena in the US (#1 being MSG). This basically means it’s the second biggest, awesomest, sports barriest, sports bar in the world. Thus, when it’s busy, ie, literally any time after 4 pm and all day Saturday and Sunday, it’s going to get hectic. And that’s not a bad thing. This place can be like sitting in a stadium with chants and songs and OOOs and WAHHHHs! It is incredible. Come here with a good attitude expecting that and you will leave happier than when you entered. For anyone reading reviews on what to order, uh, hi, it’s a sports bar. You don’t even need to look at a menu. Get a pitcher of whatever, some loaded tots, maybe some wings, definitely some tendies and you’re good to go. BUT WAIT - Have someone in your party that hates sports bars, beer, bar food and other delights that scream ‘Murica? Good, they’ve got an incredible chilled white wine selection, excellent keto/gluten free options designed by chefs that could throw down with the best of the Venice/SaMo healthy haunts, and restrooms fit for germophobes. Just go.

Michelle

A delightful pre show experience. Gluten free options and a unique experience everytime you go due to the rotating chefs. Would definitely recommend!

Leya Collins

Food is amazing and the experience is so fun! They just need to get some gluten free soy sauce for guests with dietary restrictions.

Asia Biagiotti

I love this place!!! They have authentic asian food,with a lot of options!! Also for who's vegan, one of the person in my party was vegan and gluten free and she was so happy with the dinner that she had! Service was fast and prompt! If you are looking for authentic asian food you have to stop here with your research!

Danielle Miller

I live near y and come here for their sourdough loaves and some coffee each week. Great coffee but also great bread. I don't have celiac, I'm not someone who confuses a fructan sensitivity for "gluten sensitivity", but I'm someone who generally doesn't do well with American bread (must be some additive that's used, nowhere else in the world do I have an issue) and generally avoid it. This is the only place, even of bakeries, that I've been too in LA that the bread isn't overly filling and doesn't bloat me/bother me. Really good and also at a good price too (I want to say about $5-6)

Avenira Caswell

This place met all my expectations for a vegan joint. Food was delicious, with many gluten free options too. Loved the grilled chicken dinner with a side of their Thai peanut sauce. Veggies were vibrant and flavorful. All their sauces are house made and can be purchased by the jar which is cool. Staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was really calm and quiet despite being rather small and busy. I will definitely go again.

C. Misao Yukawa

Nice, chill place if you can get a seat. We were there on a Sunday 10:30ish. Organic is the best and the gluten free pumpkin choc chip loaf was onolicious.

Lisa Boum

Our waiter was one of the best we have had for years! They brought small sample of all the items and it was easy to choose from, there are options for halal, vegetarian and gluten free. The ramen was great and the cocktails all special. We chose the flight. This place is now one of our favorite spots.

Hottesome (Quintin Ellis Jr)

Z-licious! This amazing pop and mom type Mediterranean spot in the thick of Downtown Los Angeles is a must try. Not only does Z-Falafel have a ton of options, but vegan and vegetarian ones as well, which makes this guy very happy.... Literally something for everyone even some naturally gluten free friendly options. The veggie plate is a hearty meal with grape leaves, falafel and much more. The wraps and pitas are on another level as well as served with fries. Z's makes arguably the best falafel in Los Angeles, ten out of ten for the win! They offer bottled and canned beveragd for sale and a few cool dessert as well. Tony aka T was super kind and helpful and like all the staff very friendly and personable which makes for top notch service on top of top tier eats. If you're in the DTLA please stop in and support this amazing place while stuffing your face with perfect portions and perfect service.

Manuela is a large space in the downtown L.A. arts district serving fancy and delicious food for brunch and dinner. We only had a few items, but everything that came out of the kitchen brought to us, and nearby tables looked fantastic. Lots of points for presentation. My wife and I shared the Blistered Snap Peas (made with quinoa, feta and sesame date butter) which we thought we’re excellent and especially lovely with the mint leaves they were served with. We thought the same about the Roasted Cauliflower dish we shared (made with halawi date vinegar and almonds) which looked amazing with lots of edible colors. Our kid loved the cinnamon roll he ordered (on the small and to share menu but still $11) and said it was better than his favorite ice cream. I also had a the cream biscuits (because whenever it says “biscuits” on a menu, that’s what I automatically order. They ha good flavor but were heavy and almost croissant like with the particular flakiness of their texture. The honey and pear butters they came with were good. These were small but filling. I’d definitely come back and try the cast iron cornbread and it looks like there are good vegetarian options on the dinner menu as well. We definitely felt it was pricy and my wife wished the Black corn meal pancakes dish was gluten free as that was what she’d hope to get when she looked at the menu online. Other than that it was a pretty great experience.

Mitchell Koory

Terrific salads and sandwiches, I look forward to this place whenever I'm nearby. They have gluten free bread and a clearly marked menu, which makes it easy for those with Celiac disease. And the service is usually excellent. Only challenge is that it can get busy during lunch hours.

Tiina Kinnunen

Super friendly stage, gluten free items clearly marked on the menu. Everything is fresh and made to order.

Shelby Cearley

I love Smashburger, particularly their Smashfries, made with rosemary, garlic, and olive oil. You can customize the protein for your burger (beef, chicken, turkey, or black bean), your bun (including a gluten-free one), and your toppings. That means you can eat there every day and he something different. The location is great for people-watching, too.

Sandra Felix

I didn't actually eat there because they don't have anything gluten free. They offer you the omelette without toast as their Gluten Free option.

B Lake

The attention to detail was incredible, and what impressed me the most was how seamlessly they accommodated my gluten-free needs. It felt like I was having the exact same experience as everyone else. The timing of the dishes being on screen versus when they arrived on our plates was flawless. The food quality was truly gourmet, giving even the best restaurants in town some serious competition. It's the perfect spot for a date night or a girls' night out, and I can’t wait to go back!

Audra Kramer

I visited this location for dinner during a convention. The service was so attentive and prompt, I was very impressed. They have a gluten sensitive menu and were very accommodating. It is a great environment, has a bar like feel without being too loud.

Andrew Robb

Had the house special, very delicious and gluten free as they swapped the toast gir salad Great quick service, not sure I would queue 30 mins for it though!
